Excursion Transport Mode Active

Whoa, that's a weird one! I had a similar thing happen in my Excursion. All sorts of electrical nonsense. Is your key fob working properly? I'm thinking it could be some kind of security system glitch. Did you try any basic troubleshooting, like checking the battery connections or any obvious blown fuses?

Yeah, key fob seems fine, locks and unlocks the doors. I checked the battery, connections seem solid, and I didn't see any blown fuses. Is there any specific electrical part I should focus on?

Okay, fob working is good, eliminates that easy fix. When mine acted up, it was like the whole electrical system was having a party without me! After many hours of troubleshooting, I still couldn't fix it by myself. I hate to say it, but it might be time to swallow your pride and take it to a workshop for a proper diagnostic check. They probably have the right scan tools to reset the transport mode or figure out what's causing the navigation system to freak out. Sorry to say it.

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. Sounds like I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and get the professionals involved. Thanks for confirming my suspicions. The diagnostic check identified an issue with the car's central computer, and after a reset, the car went back to normal. No repair costs, as the car was just being stupid.
